Zhu Yuanzhang was reluctant to split money.
Especially when Zhu Zhen wanted to take away 10% of his money and the one hundred thousand taels, Zhu Yuanzhang felt even more reluctant to part with it.
However, looking at Zhu Zhen in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang thought of something else.
In the end, he honestly distributed one hundred thousand taels to Zhu Zhen.
However, after Zhu Zhen left, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but said to himself:
"It seems that Lao Liu is very good at making money. His analysis of the new salt just now is very accurate!!"
"If he comes up with another one that is beneficial to the people and can make us money, then won't we be short of money??"
When the Ming Dynasty was founded, Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally very short of money.
But he cannot squeeze the people, so even if he is short of money, he cannot do anything to raise taxes.
This also made the Ming Dynasty's treasury always tight and in a state of no money.
Now he had earned one million taels in ten days, and it had not harmed the interests of the people. This immediately changed Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.
If Zhu Zhen comes up with such a money-making thing again, then why should he worry about not having the money to build the Ming Dynasty? Why not worry about not being able to let the people of the Ming Dynasty live a good life?
After understanding this, Zhu Yuanzhang willingly took out the one hundred thousand taels.
"The wool comes from the sheep, we believe you can definitely get us more money!!"
"This money will be given to you as a reward from us!!"
After having this idea, Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously relieved.
Zhu Yuanzhang no longer cared so much about giving money to Zhu Zhen.
Zhu Zhen didn't know about this.
After taking the money, he not only renovated the ships, but also had people build weapons for his soldiers.
One hundred thousand taels is not a lot in the army, but when it comes to three thousand soldiers, it is definitely extremely rich.
In addition, they have a certain amount of military expenditure, which makes their equipment more sophisticated.
Everyone has their own light armor, their own hand-held crossbow, and a short knife and rope that they can carry with them.
These things fall on Zhu Zhen's three thousand soldiers, which can greatly enhance their combat effectiveness.
Especially with the use of hand-held crossbows, they are far superior to others in distance and close combat.
The ship Zhu Zhen wanted to build was greatly enhanced under his suggestions.
When Zhu Yuanzhang knew that all of Zhu Zhen's hundred thousand taels were spent on soldiers and ships, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was completely relieved.
"As expected of our son, he knows how to spend money wisely and does not spend our money randomly!!"
“The money we give makes us comfortable!!”
Of course Zhu Yuanzhang felt comfortable, because among the three thousand soldiers, there were still 300 who belonged to him.
Under such circumstances, the stronger these three thousand soldiers were, the happier Zhu Yuanzhang was.
However, when the money was distributed in the second month, Zhu Yuanzhang was not so happy.
When the money was divided in the second month, Zhu Yuanzhang received a total of two million taels from selling salt.
If he takes out 10%, Zhu Zhen will take 200,000 taels.
To be honest, Zhu Yuanzhang was reluctant to take the two hundred thousand taels.
If it weren't for the fact that it was Zhu Zhen who took the money, and if Zhu Zhen might not have other secrets of wealth in his hands, Zhu Yuanzhang would never have taken out the money.
After all, the money was already in his pocket, how could he take it out so easily?
Zhu Zhen also knew about this, but he didn't care.
Two months have passed, and his focus is no longer on the money.
Now he wants to kill the Japanese pirates.
"Father, what you promised me, let me go to the battlefield and kill the Japanese pirates, does this still count?"
"It counts, of course it counts!!"
"Okay! Then I will go to the battlefield tomorrow and kill the Japanese pirates tomorrow!!"
"As for your three hundred soldiers, I have already selected them for you. You can mobilize them at any time! In addition, I have left two hundred soldiers for the prince to protect his safety!!"
"Huh? Then you will lead 2,500 soldiers to destroy the Japanese pirates??"
"Yes! For me, these two thousand and five hundred soldiers are enough. They can match thousands of troops!!"
Zhu Zhen was very confident in the soldiers he had trained with his own hands.
Although these soldiers are not all-powerful soldiers in heaven and earth, compared to other soldiers, they are already considered all-powerful.
If any one of them is used, one can fight ten.
When multiple people fight together, they can display extraordinary killing capabilities.
Not to mention, Zhu Zhen's own combat effectiveness is immeasurable, and he has nothing to be afraid of.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but become worried after hearing Zhu Zhen's words.
Although Zhu Zhen's combat effectiveness is extremely strong, and the soldiers he trained are far better than other soldiers, this is Zhu Zhen's first time on the battlefield after all.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang said at this time:
"There are a lot of Japanese pirates. They are roaming all over the Ming Dynasty. Just relying on you people, it is very likely that we will not be able to catch up with them and wipe them out!!"
"So, let's ask Jinghaihou Wu Zhen to cooperate with your actions and work with you to exterminate the Japanese pirates!!"
"Well, this is not impossible, but Marquis Jinghai is responsible for tracking and driving them away, and our people are responsible for annihilating them!!"
"Can!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was completely relieved when he heard that Zhu Zhen agreed to let Jinghaihou assist him in exterminating the Japanese pirates.
Wu Zhen, Marquis of Jinghai, was not only good at water warfare, but also had a large number of water troops in his hands.
With his participation, those Japanese pirates would not be able to make any trouble.
Even if someone wants to secretly assist the Japanese pirates, there is no need to worry about Zhu Zhen's safety.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly issued his order to ask Jinghaihou to assist Zhu Zhen in exterminating the pirates and Japanese pirates.
The day before Zhu Zhen set off, he also placed 200,000 taels in the shipyard. He asked the people in the shipyard to work hard to modify his ship according to his wishes.
After renovating his ship, send his ship to him.
After arranging this, Zhu Zhen took his soldiers and set off directly.
Zhu Zhen's actions naturally attracted the attention of many people.
When many people knew that Zhu Zhen was going to lead his soldiers to exterminate pirates, many people couldn't help but talk about it.
After all, Zhu Zhen was only ten years old, and he only had 2,500 soldiers left.
No one is optimistic about a ten-year-old boy leading 2,500 people to annihilate Japanese pirates in the sea.
They all felt that Zhu Zhen was just joking this time.
